Dovbyk still leaning toward Atletico Madrid over Roma

Roma are involved in the race for Girona’s Artem Dovbyk.

The Giallorossi held talks with the player’s intermediaries yesterday, writes Sportitalia, and are trying to make a last-minute attempt to sign him.

In fact, the Ukrainian has been very close to Atletico Madrid in recent hours, but the Spanish club has not reached an agreement with Girona.

Girona, on the other hand, haven’t lowered their demands and continue to ask for 40 million euros for last season’s La Liga top goal-scorer.

This is why Roma sporting director Florent Ghisolfi is attempting to swoop in an hijack the player’s agreement with Atletico.

However, the news portal claims that the center forward continues to prefer Simeone’s team over the Giallorossi.

There is also interest in him from some Premier League teams.

The duel between Roma and Atletico has heated up and developments are expected in the next few hours.

Reports state that De Rossi is trying to convince Dovbyk and personally called him earlier in the day.
